In the sky

A telescope is needed to see it: its apparent magnitude is 12.95. Visible from the whole Northern Hemisphere and south to latitude 44° S. North of latitude 44° N it never sets. It stands highest at midnight in July, the best time to observe it.

Light's journey

The light you see tonight set out around 222 BC. At the speed of Voyager 1, the fastest craft leaving the Solar System (16.9 km per second), the trip would take 40 million years.

The Sun seen from there

From a planet around Kepler-1385, the Sun would look like a star of magnitude 14.02, in the direction where our sky has the constellation Puppis. It would be invisible to the naked eye.
